Time of ishraaq
Q: I want to know that what should be the correct timing to pray ishraq prayer? How much time after fajar aazan can we perform it?
Salaah
Imaam informing the congregation that the salaah has to be repeated
Q: One day I was leading three people in zuhr prayer. In my second last rakaat I felt like something was coming out from my private part. I still continued with the prayer. After I finished I went to the toilet and I found it was mazi. I came back after I washed myself and made wudhu but the people we prayed together with were gone. I don't know where to find them because it was a market where we prayed. I don't know them at all. I then observed the prayer alone again. So what should I do about them?
Performing salaah behind an imaam who shaves his beard and wears his pants below his ankles

How to get motivated to start performing salaah regularly
Q: For as long as I can remember I've never prayed regularly. Now I'm starting to realize my mistake and I want to start praying regularly. Whenever I pray, I don't get the satisfactory feeling that I'm hoping to get.
Could you please tell me how can I start praying regularly? Is there any dua for it? How to get protection from Shaytan so that he doesn't hinder in my salah? I really want to start praying 5 times a day.
Performing the sunnah salaah once the salaah time enters
Q: In Ssaudi the Adhaan is given at the very moment the salah time enters. In India, except for maghrib, there is a delay in the Adhaan being given for all the other 4 salah. The delay varies from places. Suppose Bangalore Asr time sets in at 4.04 pm but Adhaan is called at 4.30 and jamaat starts at 4.45 pm.
My question is, should the sunnah be offered after Adhaan or can one offer the sunnah once the time of the salah enters even before the Adhaan is called out?
Putting the hand on the head and reading a dua after salaah
Q: A few weeks ago an email was sent under the heading azkaar after salaah. It mentions putting the hands on the head and reading for the removal of worry and grief. Can Mufti saheb please send me that azkaar.
Performing salaah outside the Haram in Makkah and Madinah

Remaining silent when performing salaah behind the imaam
Q: What is the ruling regarding jahari and sirri salah behind an Imam? Does the muqtadi (follower) recite anything in both salah?
Example: The last one and two rakats of Maghrib and Esha farz respectively. Should he recite surah fatiha or should he remain silent?
Woman performing salaah next to a man

Following the Jamaat Salaah of the Haram from the Hotel Jamaat Khaana
Q: Nowadays, some people are performing salaah in the hotel near the Musjid al Haraam while following the jamaat of Musjid al Haraam. The hotel has speakers installed and the recitation of the Imaam of Musjid al Haraam can easily be heard. However, since the Imaam is not present infront of the muqtadis, I am doubting whether the salaah is valid or not. Is it permissible for people to follow the Imaam in salaah while in their hotel rooms? Similarly, is it permissible to follow the Imaam in the hotel jamaat khaana?
